Database of Dreams

The Lost Quest to Catalog Humanity

By: Rebecca Lemov

Just a few years before the dawn of the digital age, Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, and social scientists were entranced by the human insights promised by Rorschach tests and other innovative scientific protocols. Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, sought out a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the globe. Recording their dreams, stories, and innermost thoughts in a vast database, Kaplan envisioned future researchers accessing the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. Almost immediately, however, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and eventually it was forgotten.

Sara Jane Is a Pain

By: Rebecca Williams Spindler,Madelyn Spindler

For Liz McCormick, life seems good, as along as she can avoid dealing with her self-centered teenage sister, Sara Jane. Liz and her family live on a small farm where she takes care of animals and helps her parents with the chores. Sara Jane is too wrapped up in her social life, and is practically glued to her cell phone. When Liz's parents go away for a weekend, they decide to leave Sara Jane in charge. Suddenly, life takes a horrible turn for Liz, as Sara Jane becomes a great big pain. SARA JANE IS A PAIN is written for middle grade readers and depicts what life is like as experienced through eleven-year-old Lizzie McCormick. Liz is a tomboy who enjoys country life, being outdoors, and caring for her farm animals. Meanwhile, her big sister Sara Jane is a seventeen-year-old who is wrapped up in fashionable clothes, makeup, and texting her friends. The siblings differ greatly and despite their constant feuding, ultimately they realize they share one common bond; sisterly love. SARA JANE IS A PAIN is the first in a new series of books called "The Tale of Two Sisters," involving the dynamic relationship experiences between big and little sisters.
